Converting a numerical value to a string parameter
With the TOCHAR function, the TNC converts a numerical value to
a string parameter. This enables you to chain numerical values with
string variables.

Press the String functions soft key
Press the STRING FORMULA soft key
Select the function for converting a numerical
value to a string parameter
Enter the number or the desired Q parameter to
be converted, and confirm with the ENT key
If desired, enter the number of decimal places that
the TNC should convert, and confirm with the ENT
